THE UNITED STATES will not be the only ones not sleeping in the Olympic Village. Even if Team USA's case is special, because LeBron James and company were going back and forth between Lille and Paris since the beginning of the Olympic Games, other countries have also decided to stay away from the Olympic Village in the second week.
We have known for a long time that the Blues were going to join INSEP, where they will be in ideal conditions.
Serbia and Canada have also preferred to stay in Parisian hotels, while the basketball tournament is now moving from Lille to Paris. And according to Eurohoopsthere Greece has also changed plans. Giannis Antetokounmpo and his teammates were originally supposed to join the Olympic Village after leaving Paris, but that will not be the case.
Vassilis Spanoulis' players will also sleep at the hotel to prepare for their quarter-final against Germany.
Did the criticisms of various athletes about the heat in the heart of the Olympic village or the hardness of the mattresses weigh in this choice? In any case, most of the men's basketball teams will therefore avoid the Olympic village for this second week of competition, while it is unknown what Germany, Australia and Brazil will do.
